Elena Dinu , BACP

Elena Dinu is a Practitioner Psychologist and Psychotherapist with more than 22 years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom and Romania. Over two decades of practice have helped her develop finely tuned clinical skills and a deep sense of empathy, enabling meaningful, long-term connections with people from diverse backgrounds.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, which reflects her ongoing commitment to professional standards and continuing development. Elena places a strong emphasis on building a supportive, trusting relationship as the foundation for effective therapeutic work, and she creates a welcoming, non-judgmental space that encourages open communication.

Her approach centers on attentive, individualized care and a dedication to helping each person reach their goals. Known for going the extra mile on behalf of those she works with, Elena focuses on understanding each person’s experience and tailoring her support to promote growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Elena works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person’s needs. She uses structured approaches that help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, supporting clients who are managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, or difficulties with coping. She also employs trauma-aware and relational methods that focus on establishing safety, building trust, and processing painful experiences in a paced and respectful way, which can be especially helpful for those affected by loss, abuse, or relationship challenges.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Elena discusses options with each person, listens to their goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques and pace will be most helpful. This partnership helps shape a plan that feels practical and meaningful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives and varied circumstances. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, Elena can provide flexible support that fits different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier for people to stay engaged in therapy and access consistent professional care from licensed professionals and therapists, even when in-person sessions are not possible.
